Travel tips
If you’re planning to rely on transit, the Main / Hampden Terrace, Fremont / Main, and Huntington / Grand bus stops are all within a short walk, and Cal State LA train access is farther away (about 3740 m). Parking is street-based and requires a pass; paid street parking passes can be purchased online through the City of Alhambra, so plan ahead. Note that there’s no stove/oven, so consider nearby eateries on Main Street (e.g., Genovese’s Italian Kitchen) for meals beyond microwave/air-fryer cooking.
